Hmmmm… looks like it was decided that “Pandora’s Box” was to be the one which’d incorporate the spirit of Neil Peart: seems that it had an extra track for the “tom”. Now, if it wasn’t, you know, strictly necessary in musical terms, I’m sure it was ‘conceptually valid’ or somesuch but, well, look, I’m not going to ask. Life’s too short.
The version of “Let The Good Times Roll” here was from the ‘studio tryout’ session in 1990, which had also resulted in that “The Kids Are Alright”. Track 11 says “noise”: that was Michel’s wholly cinematic and frighteningly realistic ‘motorcycle guitar’, a feature which seems somehow to have been deemed inappropriate for the rather more light-hearted version of the song we ended up doing for “Million Seller”. Track 13 is labelled “end ac.git.”, which reminds me that the song had a long end-section based on Jonathan Richman’s “Roadrunner”: the mix of this ‘tryout’ version faded on that, but it was edited from the mix of the “Million Seller” version completely.
Meanwhile, I’m pleased to see that “I’m In You” allocated an entire track just to the tambourine.
"Think Bubble" is an album (LP only) of 1995 demos for an unreleased Pooh Sticks album.
